DALLAS (AP) — Keith Tkachuk had the first four-goal game of his career and Win nipeg took over sole possession of the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot with an 8-2 win over Dallas on Tuesday night. Tkachuk scored his first goal 26 seconds into the game and added three goals in the third period, including two during a 16-second burst. Igor Korolev and Dallas Drake each scored two goals for the Jets, who were 1-6-1 in their previous eight games. Korolev got both his goals during a 12-second span in the second period. Winnipeg now has 67 points, two more than Anaheim, which didn’t play Tuesday night. Dallas fell eight points be hind Winnipeg with eight games left. Jets goalie Nikolai Khabibu- lin had a shutout until Stars defenseman Craig Ludwig scored his first goal of the sea son with 15:24 remaining. Brent Fedyk added a goal for Dallas with 8:16 left. The Jets converted their first two shots on goal for a 2-0 lead less than 3 1/2 minutes into the game. Tkachuk cut between Kevin Hatcher and Ludwig, then com pleting his solo rush by putting the puck behind Stars goalie Andy Moog. Winnipeg made it 2-0 on Drake’s power-play tip- in at the 3:20 mark. Korolev scored on a wrist shot at 56 sec onds of the sec ond period, then converted a pass from Mike East- wood at 1:11. The second goal drove Moog from the nets after yielding four goals in 11 shots. Backup Darcy Wakaluk went the rest of the way. Korolev’s two goals were not the fastest in club history. Deron Quint set the team mark and tied an NHL record earlier this season when he scored a pair of goals in four seconds in a 9-4 victory over Edmonton. Dallas continued its futility on the power play. The Stars failed on all five man-advantage situations, ex tending their scoreless streak to 40 opportunities. D A L.i l. A S; Twins dump Rangers, 4-0 FORT MYERS, Fla.

PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — An error by catcher Pat Borders allowed Houston to score three unearned runs Tuesday as the Astros beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2. Trailing 1-0 in the fourth, Houston loaded the bases with one out on consecutive singles by Rick Wilkins, Mike Simms and James Mouton. St. Louis starter Tom Ur- bani, who escaped a bases- loaded situation in the third, induced Ricky Gutierrez to hit a potential double-play ball back to the mound. But Borders dropped the throw to the plate, allowing Wilkins to score. Houston pitcher Darryl Kile followed with a sacrifice fly to score Simms with the second run. John Cangelosi singled to drive in Mouton with the game-winner. Simms gave the Astros an insurance run with a leadoff homer against T.J. Mathews in the sixth. St. Louis scored its first run in the second. John Mabry drew a two-out walk from Kile and reached second on an infield hit by Borders. Royce Clayton’s opposite- field single allowed Mabry to score. Mabry doubled to lead off the seventh and scored on a two-out double by Willie McGee. Mabry has seven doubles in eight games.

SRAs are tax- deferred annuities designed to help build additional assets —money that can help make the difference between living and living well after your working years are over. Contributions to your SRAs are deducted from your salary on a pretax basis. That lowers your current taxable income, so you start saving on federal and, in most cases, state and local income taxes right away. What’s more, any earnings on your SRAs are also tax deferred until you receive them as income. That can make a big difference in how painful your tax bill is every year. As the nations largest retirement system, based on assets under management, we offer a wide range of allocation choices —from the TIAA Traditional Annuity, which guarantees principal and interest (backed by the company’s claims-paying ability), to TIAA-CREF’s diversified variable annuity accounts. And our expenses are very low,* which means more of your money goes toward improving your future financial health.
